Axe handle ATLAS 90 cm straight, head size 70 x 28 mm

Axe handle ATLAS straight made of ash wood, with head size 70 x 28 mm and length 90 cm. This straight handle is suitable for an axe with a weight of 2000 grams. For mounting the handle, the axe wedge set with article number 651815 is recommended (wooden wedge 70 x 80 mm and 2 metal wedges no. 4 22 mm).

ATLAS axe handles are made from ash rootstock, which contains the best wood. Ash wood is tough, shock-absorbing, and strong. The ash wood undergoes two drying processes: during the first drying process, sawn ash wood boards are air-dried. During the second process, the ash wood is computer-controlled re-dried in a climate chamber. Because of the re-drying, the handle does not shrink and the axe head stays firmly attached to the handle.

Next, the ATLAS handle is waxed with the plant-based Carnauba. This allows the wood to breathe, prevents it from absorbing water or dirt, and helps it retain its beautiful natural color. The waxing provides a longer service life and a pleasant smooth handle, which helps prevent blisters. In addition, the plant-based waxing of handles is better for the environment than using varnish or paraffin.

ATLAS axe handles are manufactured entirely energy-neutral in the Netherlands and are available in various lengths and designs.
